Create your own Avatar

James Cameron's Avatar has changed the world post 18/12/09! It has won every heart and has created history by breaking all known and unknown box office records across the world! The land of Pandora excited all age groups and everyone including me after coming out from the movie hall, secretly wished to have his or her own Avatar. I came across a great McDonald's Avatar campaign where you can actually create your own Avatar in just minutes. In other words - Avatarize Yourself! I've tried it and I must tell you, it looks really cool. You too create your own Avatar right here at maktion! The original campaign is in German, but I have made it simple for you by translating the instructions into English. So what are you waiting for? Check out the Avatarize Yourself window below and follow 7 simple steps to create your own Avatar!

Step 1: An Upload and Share option comes at the start. Meaning of the following German words:German --> English:
Hochladen = Upload
Teilen = Share

Step 2: Now, upload your photo and if you're using it for the second time, you will have the option to retrieve used photos.German --> English:
Ein Bild Hochladen = Upload a picture
Mein Foto hochladen = Upload your photo
Facebook Bilder = Facebook images
Meine Bilder = My images

Step 3: Agree to the Terms of Service and select your image from the pop-out browser. Wait for the image to completely upload.German --> English:
Ich stimme den Nutzungsbedingungen zu = I agree to the Terms of Service
Nach Bildern suchen = Search for images
Bild hochladen 100% = Upload image 100%

Step 5: Once it freezes your photo, you are asked to position the points (eye, ear, nose, lips, chin) as shown in the example on the left and then click Submit.German --> English:
Positionere die Punkte = Position, the points
Absenden = Submit
Model abrufen = Get model
